We purchased this used/like new with a description that the packaging would be damaged.
Turns out whoever returned it completed stripped a screw, tore a stability bolt out of the frame and basically ruined several pieces of necessary hardware. Additionally, it seems like a few of the screws may have been warped from the manufacturer since idk how dufus who returned it would have completely jacked up the threading.
I was able to find comparable replacements in my toolbox and had the same size Allen Wrench (because that was ruined too), but cmon! That is NOT like new.
Once I managed to get it assembled, it is super sturdy and looks great in our entryway. Padded top isnt very soft, but you get what you pay for and it looks nice.
The bottom shelf is slightly raised so youd be able to fit sandals or some less underneath to fit 9 pairs of shoes instead of just 6.
Decent Bench Once Assembled
